I've spent an inordinate amount of time prepping my greenhouse ahead of moving the plants out of the grow tent and into their new home. I've pressure washed it inside and out and thrown away a lot of old stuff and anything that could contaminate the plants. I've destroyed more spider webs than I care to count! Set-up wise, I have rigged up the two SpiderFarmer lights on timers and put in my Biogreen Palma heater. It's great as its on a thermostat and I can programme the heat to kick in at a certain temperature which ensures it won't get too cold. There is a hot and cold mode, so I can swap it over to blow cold air if the temperature gets too high. Sadly this can't be done remotely and needs to be switched over manually, but its a great feature. I've insect (and hopefully spider) proofed the entire greenhouse with fibreglass mesh, which I attached using magnetic tape, so it can be easily removed. I have auto openers on the greenhouse windows which means they open automatically when its too hot, but this also means that insects (and spiders) have free access to the greenhouse and ideally I would prefer to avoid infestations on my girls! Lastly, I have another bluetooth enabled thermometer and humidity reader which will monitor the temperature and I can view it on my phone via the app (when I am in range). To create humidity I will pour water onto the floor of the greenhouse each evening. 29 Aug (day 8): Start of week 2 and Wendy is growing well and looking healthy. 1 Sep (day 11): She is growing ahead of schedule and now has 4 true leaves and is 13cm high. I am marking this as this as the start of the Veg phase and moving her out to the greenhouse along with Ophelia (see separate diary). Sunrise is 6.30am and its dark by 8pm. I am topping up daylight hours with the Spiderfarmer 100w grow light to keep her on a 20/4 schedule, 24 inches away from the plant. Currently Ophelia and Wendy will have a light each, but when Orla and Wanda are in Veg phase and move out to join them, I will have 2 plants per light. I have a Biogreen greenhouse heater with a thermostat which is keeping the temperature at an average of 21.4C. RH average is 65%. I've been fussing like a lunatic about the move out to the greenhouse and hoping all my prep and planning will pay off! 2 Sep (day 12): So the girls survived the night despite my anxiety and everything worked as it should. The heater kept the temperature consistent and humidity was within range. The lights came on as planned, but I do have a slight problem. Two lights, even at 60% strength lit up the garden like a bloody beacon! I bought some black backed reflective plastic today and have attached it using magnetic tape. This should keep the light inside and allow me to take them down during the day (fingers crossed). The Biobizz nutrient schedule states you should start using fertilisers when the plant is 10-15cm and has 2-4 true leaves. I am only 2 days off the two week mark, but conscious there will still be nutrients available in the soil. Apparently autos would take 1/2 of the recommended dose, but I have dropped that further to compensate for nutrients still in the soil. I therefore fed her using week 1 of the Biobizz nutrient schedule at 1/4 of the recommended dose. Used 0.1ml of PH down to bring the PH down from 7.5 to 6.5. Temperature of feed I like to keep at 22C. 3 Sep (day 13): So the black backed plastic worked well and dampened the light coming out of the greenhouse. I took it down in the morning, but its a bit of a pain and an eyesore if I'm honest. The hubby had the inspired idea of using blackout curtains instead (I wouldn't dare to take the credit for his brainwave 😂). I bought some cheap ones and a load of 'S hooks' to attach them. Hung them up in the evening approaching sundown and hoping they work as they are a much easier solution. Additionally, they are less of an eyesore as well as being in black satin material (they were the cheapest - honest) so the greenhouse looks all pimped out 😳 4 Sep (day 14): End of Week 2 and looking big and healthy. Curtains worked like a dream and kept the light out of the garden nicely. They were easy to draw back this morning too so I could let the light in. She looked thirsty, so I fed her using week 1 of the Biobizz nutrient schedule at 1/4 of the recommended dose. I also added some Calmag as a preventative measure as I read that LED lights can cause deficiencies. Dosage is 0.5ml per litre, so I fed at 1/5 of the recommended dose as she is still quite young. NOTE: Nutrient amount is the total amount of nutes given during the week.

I read somewhere that a healthy plant should increase fingers with each set of leaves. Wendy had two 3 fingered leaves, one of which wasn’t clearly defined. The next set of leaves look to have one with 4 fingers and one with 3. Should I be worried? Does she look healthy?

Wendy is fine and not unhealthy at all, leaf "mutations" are common with cannabis plants and as long as she looks a healthy green colour and grows progressively, you have nothing to worry about. Leaves with all sorts of numbers of blades - 10, 2, 4, 5, 7, 12, 9, 6, 11, 13 1, 2, 3, 7 and 8 are all possible.

Spotted these little white dots on one leaf and now petrified I have Spider Mites! Checked all 4 plants and leaves look clear (see picture of the underside of affected leaf). What else could it be (if anything) please?!

The 3 in 1 would also take care of powdery mildew. To answer your secondary question. No I don’t think it is organic. Bottle doesn’t claim it to be at all anywhere. I think used in moderation it is effective at tackling a few different issues in the garden. I mean you don’t have any bud yet so there’s no worries of contaminating your bud. I understand your concerns with trying to keep chemicals out.

Is this a nitrogen deficiency? I had a yellowing leaf or two at the bottom of the plant which have since dropped off, but rest of the plant is looking patchy now. I have just switched from fish mix to bio grow.

If u can measure the soil ph u can do a perfect job of this. Ur soil ph levels should be between 5.8 and 6.2. 5.8 early days and 6.2 towards the end. But obviously the pH of the water u add means nothing if the media is not the right levels for the plant to be able to take the nutrients it needs. U can find charts for the different types of media ie. Soil, coco and probably more, with a pH chart for the different nutrients. If ur like me and like to know the chemicals then that's the best piece of information u can have.

I pulled the trigger on some auto white widow fem seeds that should get here shortly. I think the timing should work out that I can veg them along with my pink kush. Your grow help convince me to give the strain a try, so thank you!!

@happykat, excellent! I won’t be topping my plants this time round as they are autos. Just doing LST. Let me know how it gets on post topping.

@Growladyeastmidlands hello! When you say 'come down' do you mean harvest? If so, yes she is nearly there. Going to start flushing this week and then harvest. Trichomes are getting cloudy now.
